If we roll back safety advancements in racing 15 years or so we probably would have lost a handful of drivers this weekend. Not only at Vegas in the Indy Car race, but Jimmie Johnson's impact at Charlotte could very well have been fatal pre-HANS device.
We just take all of the safety advancements for granted until something like this happens.

that and don't forget this... go to 2:38 ... could have easily been 2 drivers VERY seriously hurt or worse.
